focus your effort on the people actually using it for dumb or evil reasons or everyone will just end up ignoring all criticisms of it

the end result of this is actually 0% different vs if I did it manually other than taking a couple hours less to do

"ew" how?

this use case in particular works well because
1. I dont care about the code quality of the script at all (its pretty ass)
2. its a thing I run once and can verify that the output is correct

chatgpt is very good at python these days. kinda spent most of the day having it write ad hoc scripts to migrate text from data files to localization spreadsheets for me. requires pretty specific instructions to do well now, but gets it all mostly correct without much prodding now

Game Previews used to BIG EVENTS.
So we're trying to make them that again.

A 35 minute deep dive into MEWGENICS featuring interviews, new gameplay and loads more dropping on noclip_2 tomorrow morning. Super proud of it.

thank god for the AI weather. How else would I know that today is a "great day to go outside, just bring a light jacket"?

There doesn't seem to be any way to get the default Weather app working again. clearing its cache and restarting it and reinstalling it and it just fails to get current location weather

its incredible how many parts of my phone broke after the latest android update. does google just have AI writing all their code now?

its a mix of intuition and playtesting (either by ourselves or others), making a lot of games before this helps build the experience needed to have said intuition

Ed also posted a second "gameplay preview" video today. I will be recording one live later this month as well, where you will get to vote on what event and level up choices I make. This game is cool!

i dont know any devs who have that reasoning on it, its mostly just repeated by random trolls

Tyler Glaiel @tylerglaiel.com · 8d

the people shouting "dont add easy mode because git gud, scrub!" are noise, that's not the actual reasoning behind decisions to exclude it, ever

Tyler Glaiel @tylerglaiel.com · 8d

This is the one bit I disagree on, its a completely valid game design decision to not offer difficulty modes. It's a valid design decision to add them too. Game design is complicated and its up to the dev to decide what fits in with the game's goals and design or not

option 1: fix the bug then re-code the intended behavior "the correct way"

option 2: just leave an "I can explain!" comment instead lol

when you notice that code that absolutely should not be working just accidentally has the correct behavior because of a different bug
